Datebook: May 22 - Pac-Man Turns 33

The Davie-Brown Index gives Pac-Man the highest brand awareness of any video game character. He began chomping pac-dots and chasing ghosts on this day in 1980, released in Japan by Namco. A social phenomenon, Twin Galaxies estimates Pac-Man's earnings at 10 billion quarters, making it one of the highest-grossing games of all time.
